Abstract
Software for a website hosting a content-aggregation service generates a first representation of interests for a user. The first representation includes a plurality of entities including pivot entities and extended entities, where the extended entities result from a nearest-neighbor search of word embeddings. Each of the extended entities is associated with a nearness score that is weighted using a distance of the extended entity from one of the pivot entities. For each of a plurality of articles ingested by the content-aggregation service, the software generates a second representation that associates an aboutness score with each of the plurality of entities. The software uses the first representation, a similarity measure, and the second representations to create rankings of the plurality of articles. The software receives a request for access to the content-aggregation service from the user and serves the user a content stream based at least in part on the rankings.
